Coffee, I need coffee!

I admit, I am a coffee junkie. I love the smell, I love the taste. Until very recently my mornings started with a large mug. Now I am trying to free myself from that addiction. Why, you ask? Because it would be nice to be able to jump from bed, dress, run for the bus and not suffer a head ache for the rest of the day.
I have brought myself to hold out till 10 - 11 am. Then I consume my only coffee of the day, a nice frothy latte from my favorite vendor (if I'm in the city).
Yesterday being Sunday I made myself a cup. Not as good. I used the dregs to paint some backgrounds:

Brown tissue covers the pizza box cards (those were lightly sanded), then I added a few thin strips from a calendar, printed paper tape (Tim Holtz), then painted it all with coffee and flicked drops of walnut stain on top. Voila! Very vintage.

Turn a life around.     /    Never regret.     /     Learn to laugh at things.

KK:n vintagehaasteeseen vielä yksi ruskea korttisarja. Taustat on tehty kahvilla maalaamalla, no, oikeastaan roiskimalla. Pizzapaketista leikatut kortit peitin ensin kaavapaperilla, sitten lisäsin muutamia vanhasta kalenterista leikkaamiani liuskoja ja Tim Holtzin kuvioitua paperiteippiä, jonka päälle voi maalata. Sitten tulikin jo kahvi ja muutama musteroiske.

Vaikuta jonkun elämään.

Älä koskaan kadu mitään.

Opi nauramaan.
